Description

Todd McFarlaneAmazing Spider-Man#300
Cover Original Art (Marvel, 1988). It would be impossible to
find an artist of the Modern Age who has had a bigger impact on
Spider-Man than Todd McFarlane. We've sold some great covers by the
master in the last several years - including one that is still tied
for the record of most expensive piece of American comic art of all
time - but none more iconic than this cover which is an absolute
classic piece featuring Spider-Man in one of the very last times he
would ever wear the black costume (because it turned out to be an
alien symbiote). This is the issue that marked the first full
appearance of Venom (a combination of Eddy Brock and the black
costume symbiote). Covers just don't get any more memorable. This
one is burned into the collective imagination of all comic fans
from that period, and it is one of the most impressive covers to
come to market from any period in recent memory. Signed by
McFarlane in three places on the front. Ink on bright white Marvel
Bristol board with an image area of 10" x 15". All Spidey art and
the top web are in india ink, while the lower web is a stat. The
background elements (corner box, text, logo, the "300" pattern
background, and cityscape) are all stats with some touch ups in ink
and marker. Only the slightest of corner wear, and as an added
bonus, there is a signed hand-written note on the back from
McFarlane (presumably to the Editor, Jim Salicrup). Don't miss your
chance at one of the greatest Marvel covers to ever come on the
market! In Excellent condition.
